Current Version: 2.3 
 
ctags-2.3 (Thu Aug 20 1998) 
* Eliminated compiler warnings [SGI MIPSpro]. 
 
 
ctags-2.2.7 (Mon Aug 17 1998) 
* Fixed porting problem [Borland C++]. 
 
 
ctags-2.2.6 (Wed Aug 12 1998) 
* Added directory recursion support for Amiga. 
* Fixed core dump encountered on some platforms when the CTAGS environment 
  variable was set but empty. 
* Fixed porting problem [MSVC]. 
 
 
ctags-2.2.3 (Sun Aug 02 1998) 
ctags-2.2.2 (Fri Jul 24 1998) 
* Fixed porting problems [AIX, HP-UX, OSF/1, SunOS, MSVC]. 
 
 
ctags-2.2.1 (Fri Jul 24 1998) 
* Now uses a default directory name of "." when using -R or --recurse option 
  (e.g. "ctags -R" is equivalent to "ctags -R ."). 
* Directories named "SCCS" are skipped when using the -R or --recurse option 
  under Unix. 
* Fixed porting problems [HP-UX, IRIX, SunOS, MSDOS/Windows]. 
 
 
ctags-2.2 (Mon Jul 20 1998) 
* Added the --recurse and -R options to allow recursing into directories. 
  This allows running ctags on an entire source directory tree using the 
  single command "ctags -R ". Currently, this option is only supported on 
  UNIX, MSDOS, Windows 95/NT, and OS/2. Other platforms will have to wait. 
* Changed writing of Emacs-style TAGS file to binary mode [MSDOS/Windows]. 
* Fixed porting problems [HP-UX, OSF/1]. 
 
 
ctags-2.1.1 (Mon Jul 06 1998) 
* Changed -h option to allow only periods to separate extensions. 
* Added the --langmap option to allow overriding the default associations 
  between source language and file extension. 
* Added configuration check and code work-around for putenv() prototypes 
  missing the const from the argument declaration [IRIX 5.2 and CRAY J90]. 
* Added makefile for VMS. 
* Fixed porting problem [HP-UX]. 
 
 
ctags-2.1 (Wed Jul 01 1998) 
* Added Java support. 
* Eliminated the --keywords option introduced in the 2.0.4, replacing it with 
  automatic detection of the language (i.e. recognized keywords) based upon 
  the file extension. 
* Added the --lang option for manually overriding the automatic selection of 
  the language. 
* Added new flag 'i' to the -i option to allow generating tags for Java 
  interfaces. 
* Added new flag 'n' to the -i option to allow generating tags for C++ 
  namespaces. 
* Added new flag 'x' to the -i option to allow generating tags for extern 
  variable declarations. 
* Added new extension flags, "private", "protected", and "public", which 
  indicate the visibility of class members when it can be determined. 
* Changed behavior of flag 'C' of the -i option to add tags of form 
  "class.member" for Java. 
* Changed how files on command line are handled. Ctags will now only scan 
  those files whose extensions it knows about unless the --lang option is 
  specified. This allows running ctags on all files in a directory without 
  having to be specific (e.g. "ctags *"). 
* Removed support for duplicate tag warnings and the -w and -W options. These 
  options are silently ignored for now. 
 
 
ctags-2.0.4 (Sat May 23 1998) 
* Added sorting time to the output of the --totals option. 
* Added the --keywords option to allow restricting the recognized 
  declaration keywords in order to handle legacy source code which uses 
  newer keywords for variable and parameter names. 
* Ignore list now also applies to macro tags. 
* /dev/stdout now properly handled as parameter to -f/-o option. 
* Fixed problem handling an operator definition in C++ when white space 
  appeared between the "operator" keyword and the operator (e.g. "="). 
* Fixed handling of non-symbolic operators (e.g. "new", "delete", etc.). 
* Fixed sort order problem for some locale settings. 
* Fixed segmentation violation when using ignore list (-I) on SunOS 4.x. 
* Fixed a segmentation violation caused by a stack overwrite when testing a 
  particular kind of non-standard tag file format. 
 
 
ctags-2.0.3 (Sun Mar 12 1998) 
* Added configure check for "strip" program. 
* Added new flag 'C' to the -i option to allow adding extra tags to the tag 
  file in the form "class::member" for class methods and members. 
 
 
ctags-2.0.2 (Wed Feb 25 1998) 
* Added stripping of installed binary for "install" target. 
 
 
ctags-2.0.1 (Thu Feb 19 1998) 
* Added support for C++. 
* Added new flag 'F' to the -i option to allow adding an extra tag for the 
  basename of each source file supplied to ctags. This provides the ability to 
  jump to a source file in Vi using ":tag file.c". 
* Added new flag 'm' to generate tags for class, structure, and union members 
  (disabled by default). 
* Added several new flags to the -i option to allow finer specification of 
  which types of tags to include/exclude. 
* Added ".hh" extension to the default list of files recognized as header 
  files. 
* Added explicit handling of special gcc construct __attribute((..)), 
  which could lead to incorrect tag generation. 
* Added configure option --disable-extended-format to allow building ctags 
  with the extended format disabled by default. 
* Added configure option --enable-macro-patterns to change the default 
  behavior of ctags to generate patterns instead of line numbers for macro 
  (define) tags. 
* Changed configure option --enable-internal-sort to --disable-external-sort. 
* Changed makefile for OS/2. 
* Removed support for the -d, -t and -T options which had been deprecated 
  for some time. 
* Removed ANNOUNCE file in distribution, consolidating it with the README 
  file. 
* Replaced CHANGES file with NEWS for more GNU-like standard distribution. 
* Improved the detection of macros of the type generated by Microsoft Visual C 
  when generating source code. These caused subsequent statements to fail to 
  have tags generated for them. Still not bullet proof, though. 
* Fixed a problem which prevented the use of / as a path separator under MSDOS 
  and Win 95/NT. 
* Fixed problem of blank lines occuring in the tag file. 
* Fixed recognition of declarations with parentheses. 
* Fixed problem of missing tags for objects within extern "C" blocks. 
* Fixed problem in source file counts when using --totals option. 
* Extended the length of tag type field in -x output to be more verbose. 
* Fixed option initialization error which caused static tags to be excluded. 
 
 
ctags-1.7 (Mon Oct 13 1997) 
* Tag files now use a new extended format which is backwards compatible with 
  existing Vi implementations, yet provides extended information which can be 
  used by supporting editors. 
* Added documentation pseudo-tags (e.g. !_TAG_FILE_FORMAT) to tag file. 
* Added the --excmd option as alternative to the -n and -N options. 
* Added the --format option to allow forcing the old-style tag file format. 
* Added the --if0 to control how "#if 0" branches are handled. 
* Added the --sort option as alternative to -u option. 
* Added the --totals option to print statistics of tag generation. 
* Added the --version option. 
* Improved handling of preprocessor conditionals. 
* Code within an #if 0 is now never scanned for non-macro tags by default 
  since tags within that code could conceivably be overridden by more 
  desirable tags in the #else branch to follow. Macro tags in these branches 
  are always included. 
* Fixed problem which could leave invalid tag entries in tag file when an 
  internal re-scan of a source file occurred. 
* Fixed problem with internal sort mechanism when appending tags to existing 
  file. 
* Changed external sort command to filter out duplicate identical tags lines 
  (including the pattern) unless warnings for duplicate tags are enabled. 
* Added data to emacs style tag entries to more closely match that produced by 
  the GNU etags. 
* Removed fixed limits on maximum tag line length. 
* Correction to Amiga makefile. 
* Improvements to Win32 portability with changes to Makefile.w32. 
 
 
ctags-1.6 (Tue May 13 1998) 
* Now using GNU autoconf to permit automatic host configuration. 
* Added the -e option to generate Emacs style tag files 
* Added ETAGS environment variable to be used when -e option is in effect. 
* Added the -p option to supply a default path for source files. 
* Fixed problem of incorrect line numbers in tag file when form feeds and 
  vertical tabs occured in the source file. 
* Fixed problem preventing ignoring of identifiers specified via the -I option 
  when the identifiers were followed by a parameter list in the source code. 
* Changed the search patterns generated for #define macros when using -N 
  option. It now includes the character following the name (or "$" if end of 
  line) instead of the "\>" used previously. Some editors did not support this 
  metacharacter for tag searches. 
* Removed -u (unique) flag from sort command line invocation to retain exactly 
  indentical tag patterns in the same file. This is in preparation for editor 
  support of duplicate tags. 
* Fixed problem resulting in no tags generated following a function-like 
  macro reference outside of a function block. 
* Fixed problem of no tags generated for typedef for function or function 
  pointer. 
* Fixed problem of no tags generated after encountering strange function 
  declarations (e.g. "foo(params) saywhat (void);") 
 
 
ctags-1.5 (Sat Oct 5 1996) 
* Added generation of tags for objects inside C++ extern blocks (e.g. 
  'extern "C" {...}' construct). 
* Added generation of tags for function definitions inside brace-enclosed 
  ("{}") blocks, since function definitions are allowed inside classes and 
  extern blocks. 
* Added the -N option to force patterns to be used for all tags (including 
  macro tags). 
* Changed the search patterns generated for macro definitions to be terminated 
  with "\>", which allows the pattern to still match even when the #define 
  line beyond the macro name is changed. 
* Fixed problem resulting in no tags generated for files containing a 
  function-like macro, such as 'MODULE_ID("$Id")', even when ignoring the 
  keyword. This also fixed a problem that caused tags to be missed for 
  initialized function pointer definitions. 
* Redirected error messages to stdout for MSDOS version. 
 
 
ctags-1.4 (Sun Aug 18 1998) 
* Added recursive parsing of class/struct/enum blocks to look for 
  class/struct/enum tags and enumeration values. 
* Added the -I option to specify keywords to ignore in the source files. 
* Fixed problem resulting in no tag generated when declaring a pointer const 
  or volatile. 
* Fixed problem resulting in no tag generated for comma terminated function 
  declarations. 
 
 
ctags-1.3 (Sun Jun 16 1998) 
* Fixed problem problem which caused "struct tag;" to be misinterpreted as a 
  variable definition. 
* Added the -n option to use line numbers in the tag file instead of patterns. 
* Added the -? option as an alternative for the --help option. 
 
 
ctags-1.2 (Wed Jun 5 1998) 
* Fixed a problem caused by an unitialized variable. 
 
 
ctags-1.1 (Tue Jun 4 1998) 
* Fixed problem reading parameter list to the -h option. 
 
 
ctags-1.0a (Mon Jun 3 1996) 
* Added ctags.lsm to distribution 
 
 
ctags-1.0 (Fri May 31 1996) 
* First public release.
